Offenders serving community sentences given wrist bands instead of ankle tags to reduce stigma

Offenders serving their sentences in the community can now be issued a tracking device on their wrists that looks like a smartwatch, instead of traditional ankle tags. These GPS-enabled devices help the Singapore Prison Service monitor inmates' movements. The new wrist tags were rolled out to help reduce stigma and meet their lifestyle needs. Both the wrist and ankle tags cost about the same to produce and operate with the same technology. Aslam Shah reports.
